In the film, a secret government agency led by Amanda Waller recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat in exchange for reduced sentences.

By February 2009, a Suicide Squad film was in development at Warner Bros. Ayer signed on to write and direct in September 2014, and by October the casting process had begun. Principal photography began in Toronto on April 13, 2015, with additional filming in Chicago, and ended in August that year.

Suicide Squad premiered in New York City on August 1, 2016, and was released in the United States on August 5 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was a box office success, grossing $749 million on a budget of $175 million, becoming the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2016, but received mostly negative reviews from critics. Ayer himself disowned the film after its release, claiming that extensive studio interference had ruined his vision. It won an Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 89th Academy Awards, making it the only DCEU film to have won an Academy Award, and received numerous other accolades. It was followed by a spin-off film, Birds of Prey (2020), and a sequel, The Suicide Squad (2021).
